Mechanisms of Action
Photobiomodulation (PBM), also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or red light therapy (RLT), is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-level light therapy to stimulate cellular function and promote healing. The mechanism of action of PBM involves a complex series of cellular and molecular events that occur in response to the light energy delivered to the cells.
- Increased ATP production: PBM stimulates the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the main energy source of cells. This increased ATP production can lead to improved cellular metabolism, increased cell proliferation, and faster tissue repair.
- Activation of mitochondrial signaling pathways: PBM activates mitochondrial signaling pathways that are involved in cellular proliferation, differentiation, and survival. This can lead to improved cellular function and tissue repair.
- Reduction in oxidative stress: PBM has been shown to reduce oxidative stress, which is a major contributor to cellular damage and aging. This reduction in oxidative stress can lead to improved cellular function and tissue repair.
- Regulation of gene expression: PBM has been shown to regulate the expression of genes involved in cellular repair, inflammation, and other important biological processes. This can lead to improved cellular function and tissue repair.
- Stimulation of blood flow: PBM can stimulate blood flow by increasing the production of nitric oxide (NO), a vasodilator that relaxes blood vessels and improves circulation. This increased blood flow can help deliver oxygen and nutrients to tissues, which can aid in tissue repair.
- Modulation of inflammation: PBM can modulate inflammation by reducing the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and increasing the production of anti-inflammatory cytokines. This can help reduce pain, swelling, and other symptoms of inflammation.
Overall, PBM is a complex process that involves multiple mechanisms of action. By stimulating cellular function and promoting healing, PBM can provide a wide range of health benefits, from reducing pain and inflammation to improving skin health and promoting wound healing.

About the X39 Patch
Your body emits heat, including heat in the infrared spectrum. The X39 patches are designed to trap this infrared energy when placed on the body, which causes them to reflect it back to stimulate specific points on the skin that can promote a general state of health and healthy activity by stimulating your bodies production of GHK-Cu Peptide.

You can also watch the video in the Educational Videos tab to understand this technology better as presented by its inventor, David Schmidt.
PEMF
Additional Information
PEMF stands for Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy, which involves the use of electromagnetic fields to improve health and promote healing. This therapy is based on the principle that every cell in the body has an electrical charge and responds to electromagnetic fields.
The exact mechanisms of how PEMF therapy works for health benefits are not fully understood, but researchers have identified several potential mechanisms that may be involved:
- Electromagnetic induction: PEMF therapy involves the use of low-frequency electromagnetic waves to induce an electric field within the body's tissues. This electric field can stimulate cellular processes, such as the production of ATP (the primary energy source for cells), which can promote healing and reduce inflammation.
- Calcium ion influx: PEMF therapy has been found to increase the influx of calcium ions into cells, which can stimulate cellular processes that promote healing and tissue regeneration.
- Nitric oxide production: PEMF therapy has been shown to increase the production of nitric oxide, a molecule that plays a key role in regulating blood flow, reducing inflammation, and promoting healing.
- Free radical scavenging: PEMF therapy has been found to reduce the production of free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can damage cells and contribute to inflammation and disease.
- Gene expression modulation: PEMF therapy has been shown to modulate gene expression, which can influence cellular processes involved in healing and tissue regeneration.
- Neuronal stimulation: PEMF therapy has been found to stimulate nerve cells, which can improve circulation, reduce pain, and promote healing.
Overall, PEMF therapy appears to work by stimulating cellular processes that promote healing, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation. These effects can lead to a range of health benefits, such as pain relief, improved sleep, and enhanced immune function. However, further research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms of PEMF therapy and to identify optimal treatment protocols for specific conditions.
